It is the soldier not the reporter, who has given us
freedom of the press.
It is the soldier not the poet, who has given us
freedom of speech.
It is the soldier not the campus organizer, who has
given us
freedom to demonstate.
It is the soldier not the lawyer, who has given us
the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag,
serves under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protaster to burn the flag.
